Two submit buttons

[benbacardi]

how can i have two submit buttons for one form that go to different pages? for example, a 'submit' and 'preview' button for a post entry? submit would go to addpost.php and preview go to preview.php... ?

you could try using onclick on each of the submit buttons, when they are clicked change the action of your form using javascript to addpost.php or preivew.php.

Make sense?

There's no need - you can actually detect which was pressed in PHP!

If you name your submit button 'submit' then that variable can be accessed by:

Code: Select all

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Submit']))

and the same goes for naming a submit button anything else...

This solution is server side (clearly) and is therefore more reliable than a Javascript solution.

ok thanks sirkent the site is written in php, so that example was perfect!

You can do it with ASP as well, just by requesting it from the form.

Sorry, my example wasn't very good - I'm assuming you know how to use !isset
